‘I realised I could either continue in fear, allowing and living the façade of loving “playerhood” and ignore the pain I felt, or evolve and be the man I knew I was deep within: a good man. It was time to become the refined player ... A refined player means you’re no longer a player. You’re always the perfect gentleman or lady – the dream man or woman who screams marriage material, even though you may not be ready to get married.’ - Stevel Marc

The Refined Player: Sex, Lies and Dates presents a kaleidoscope of thoughtful reflections – of a man, his partners, friends and even strangers, whose experiences of love, loss and longing offer intimate insights for the gentleman who wants to be and do more for his woman. It not only helps men to understand their role in relationships, but it also inspires women to be empowered and to expect and demand better from their men. Stevel shows us that it is possible to have those difficult conversations about money, sex, honesty and trust. He offers insight into transitioning from singlehood into a place of meaningful interactions.
